Do I have a B-U-T-FUL Blog or What?!?! {thats a Karaism for BEAUTIFUL...Derrr!}

The Blog Design is BEAUTIFUL {is what I meant}...my Header, my Buttons, OVERALL Design!
It was ALL done by Melanie at Elegant Custom Blogs

Well...over the weekend, I got an email from my PRECIOUS FRIEND and AMAZING Blog Designer about Hostessing a GIVEAWAY for her Blog Design site...I was BEYOND honored that she would want me to host this for her...And, HELLER...

I was like "Yippie Skippie, YeeHaw and WooHoo! I would LOVE to!"

So after several emails...I decided to CALL HER to work out the DEETS! {I had asked for her phone # months ago, but had not ever called} YEPPERS! I got to hear her SWEET lil voice...OMJaaaaaaaaaay!!! I was OVER THE MOON, excited to TALK to her! Actually carry on a conversation...This is the FIRST time I have ever actually TALKED on the phone with a Blogging Bestie! It was FABULOUS! We were on the phone like an HOUR...and it could have gone LOOOONGER, but, where she lives, they were under a TORNADO WARNING! LOL! Uuuuh, yeah...we were on the phone AN HOUR...

Oblivious to anythinggoing on around us Enjoying visiting...LOL! So I figured I should let her go see if her house was still in place, the roof was still on, make sure her kiddos werent BLOWN up into a TREE somewhere...ANYHOO...we worked out the deets!

Did you SEE MY HEADER??? And My BUTTONS? My NEWEST Button...for "Features"!!

Melanie did it ALL! She has an INCREDIBLE work ethic, her prices are BEYOND fair and she is OOBER Sweet and FUN to work with!
{And a FRIEND for LIFE!}

I'm a follower and I would love a bloglift. I'm new and I can't figure out how to create a button for myself. That's because I'm on wordpress and all the directions are for blogger or blogspot. I'm heading over to see if Melanie designs for people using wordpress.

Wow I'm a follower! Melanie is awesome, isn't she? Super talented and I just LOVE all her designs! Especially yours, Kara!

I actually have my own design business and I so totally love doing it, but it's always nice to have something done for you! Plus, Melanie is a true professional. :) I'm a still learning professional! I hope I win. :)

Hi Kara, I am a follower of yours and would love to have a "bloglift"! God only knows I need one.I just stopped by at Melanie's and also left her a comment. Thank you so much for hosting this giveaway and I hope you are feeling better.
